How to rewire a table saw

[Andre2057]

Hi guys
The power cable on my table saw attached to the motor came off when I changed blade to 45 degrees.
Turned saw upside down and the power cable was hanging loose, the only wire coming out the motor is a red live cable, how can I reattach the power cable when it has live and neutral wires?
Thanks Andy

Welcome to the forums.

I'm afraid we're going to need more information than that... a picture or three perhaps

Looks like you’re going to have to take that motor apart to re-connect the cable.
Probably find the red wire connects to the brown and inside the motor is a black wire that connects to the blue.

Hi thanks for the reply
Something like that be ok where would I wire the single neutral to as there is no neutral on the table saw motor
Thanks Andy

it will be inside the casing. reason you can't see it is it's likely beeen ripped out. or else you have rats. your only option is to strip the casing off and see.

Ahh thought you meant you had just cut the flex in half somewhere looks like you will need to use the flex and re connect to the motor.

Judging by the different colours this saw has been "repaired" before .....

I'll feed that back to the supplier as I only bought it a few months ago

The hazards of stuffing glands thinking they offer cord restraint.

And when you get it fixed treat the cable with respect and have it secured . That does definitely look like an old wound.

Ok will do cheers ,that's the motor stripped, found the other wire, both are red so which one is live or does it matter?

think you need professional help here. an expert can determine what goes where, test it, and make sure it's safe. depending where you are, 1 of us may be close to assist.

This lead that has come out, does it come from the switch?
